Using the appliance
Choice of detergent
The type of detergent to be used depends on the washing programme and the type and
colour of the fabric.
• Use different detergents for coloured and white laundry.
• For delicate clothes, use only the suggested programmes and special detergents (liquid
detergent, special wool detergent, etc.) intended only for delicate clothes.
• When washing dark coloured clothes and duvet covers, we recommend using a liquid
detergent.
• Wash woollens on the suggested programme and with a special detergent.
• Refer to the programme description chapter for the suggested programmes for each type
of fabric.
• All recommendations for detergents apply to the selectable temperature range of the
programmes.
WARNING:
Use only detergents that are specifically designed for use in a washing
machine.
Dose of detergent
The dose of the product to be used depends on the quantity of laundry, the level of dirtiness
and the hardness of the water.
• Never use more detergent than recommended on the package to avoid problems with
excess suds, poor rinsing, financial costs and, ultimately, the protection of the environment.
• Use lower doses of detergent than those recommended for small quantities of laundry or
slightly dirty clothes.
Use of a fabric softener
Place the fabric softener in the dedicated compartment inside the detergent drawer.
• Never exceed the (> max <) level mark in the fabric softener compartment.
• If the fabric softener has become less fluid, dilute it with water before putting it in the
detergent drawer.
